Sgt Marco Comisso
As we learn in our next story, the Royal Canadian Regiment family is now formally united under the command of Land Force Central Area.
Col Dean Milner
This was a transfer of command authority parade with 2RCR (2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment) from LFAA (Land Force Atlantic Area) to LFCA (Land Force Central Area). This will give the brigade obviously more capabilities. The infantry are the backbone of the army of the brigade and with the temple of the army right now just having that third battalion to share some of the responsibilities with. LFAA still commands the IRU (Immediate Reaction Unit) capability. 2RCR again is the most capable unit out east
Soundbite
Both myself and General Collin are fully committed to make this arrangement work.
Col Dean Milner
Battalion will still carry on with most of its tasks. It will still be a busy unit that will support the combat training centre. It will still train for operations like it has in the past. I think the only noticeable thing for the young soldier is that it will be fully part of the two brigade team.
